changed your mind. I already sent 'em a

Kat reaches over and gives him a hug

INT. CAFETERIA - DAY Kat stands grabs a box of cornflakes

from the food line.

CAMERON (0. S.)

Katarina?

She turns and looks at him

CAMERON:

I'd like to express my apologies.

KAT:

For what?

CAMERON:

(looking down)

I didn't mean for you to get -- When

Bianca asked me to find you a boyfriend,

I had no idea it would turn out so --

ugly. I would never have done anything

to compromise your - - -

He trails off when he realizes she's thrown her food tray

against the wall and marched off -- the old "kill, kill"

look back in her eyes.

INT. HALLWAY - DAY

Kat stomps up the hallway, full of menace

CLASSROOM - DAY

Bianca's English teacher perches on the edge of a desk, open

book in hand.

TEACHER:

Who can tell me at what point Lucentio

admits his deception?

The door of the classroom FLIES open and an angry Kat stalks

in, yanking Bianca from her chair and dragging her toward

the hallway.

KAT:

(to the teacher)

Family emergency.

HALLWAY - DAY

Bianca tries to pull away as Kat drags her by the hair

between two rows of lockers.

BIANCA:

Let go!

KAT:

You set me up.

BIANCA:

I just wanted --

KAT:

What? To completely damage me? To send

me to therapy forever? What?

BIANCA:

No! I just wanted

Miss Perky walks up

MISS PERKY:

Ladies? Shall we take a trip to my

office?

INT. MISS PERKY'S OFFICE - DAY

Miss Perky stares at both sisters as they sit before her,

then focuses on Bianca.

MISS PERKY:

So you're the real b*tch

BIANCA:

Yes! Okay? Yes -- I'm the real b*tch.

I wanted her to get a boyfriend so I

could. Apparently, this makes me a

horrible person. I'm sorry.

She turns to Kat.

BIANCA:

(continuing)

I swear -- I didn't know about the

money. I didn't even know Joey was

involved. I would never intentionally

hurt you, Kat.

MISS PERKY:

(to Kat)

Do you care to respond?

KAT:

Am I supposed to feel better? Like,

right now? Or do I have some time to

think about it?

MISS PERKY:

Just smack her now.

Bianca rises, taking Kat by the arm.

BIANCA:

(to Miss Perky)

We'll be getting back to you.

MISS PERKY:

What, no hug?

HALLWAY - DAY

And Bianca leave Miss Perky's office

BIANCA:

Is that woman a complete fruit-loop or

is it just me?

KAT:

It's just you.

ENGLISH CLASS - DAY

Mrs. Blaise faces the class

MRS. BLAISE

All right. I'm assuming everyone found

time to compose, their poems. Except for

Mr. Dorsey, who's still in ICU.

Nerds in the back high-five each other.

MRS. BLAISE

(continuing)

Would anyone care to read theirs aloud?

No one moves. Then Kat slowly stands up.

KAT:

I'11 go

Patrick looks up.

MRS. BLAISE

Oh, Lord.

She downs a couple Prozac

MRS. BLAISE

(continuing)

Please proceed.

Kat stands, puts on her glasses, and takes a deep breath

before reading from her notebook.

KAT:

I hate the way you talk to me/ and the

way you cut your hair/ I hate the way

you drive my car/ I hate it when you

stare.

She pauses, then continues

KAT:

(continuing)

I hate your big dumb combat boots/ and

the way you read my mind/ I hate you so

much it makes me sick/ it even makes me

rhyme.

She takes a deep breath, and looks quickly at Patrick, who

stares at the floor.

KAT:

(continuing)

I hate the way you're always right/ I

hate it when you lie/ I hate it when you

make me laugh/ even worse when you make

me cry/ I hate it that you're not

around/ and the fact that you didn't
